Storms River

Left Bulungula way too soon for my liking, but also way too late in the day, and ended up driving until deep into the night across the Eastern Cape through a spectacular lightening storm to the aptly-named Storms River, just over the border into the Western Cape and the start of the gorgeous Garden Route.

Today, I hired a mountain bike and rode through the Tsitsikama Forest down to the mouth of the river. The forest was populated by baboons, schools of the famous red-wing louries and an entire field of brightly coloured grasshopers mating in the biggest grasshoper-orgy I had ever seen.
